Not sure if this is the right community, but I didn’t see a general one. What search engine do you use? Besides Google increasingly spying on its users, the quality of its search results seems to have gotten significantly worse over the last decade. What search engine(s) do you use?
In this letter, Dijkstra talks about readability and maintainability in a time where those topics were rarely talked about (1968). This letter was one of the main causes why modern programmers don’t have to trouble themselves with goto statements. Older languages like Java and C# still have a (discouraged) goto statement,...

Can someone please help me understand how one could make his own frontend for the Ferdiverse? It seems like to run on a bespoke protocol, and has HTTP endpoints as well. The help says you can create your own frontend, divorced of HTTP. What I am wary of is the documentation being out-of-date....
So I’ve come to the point where I’ve wanted some to see some features on the software I regularly use and I feel confident enough that I can pull it off. However, once I start getting into it, it all becomes so overwhelming that it’s hard to get anything done....
Thanks to the current SEO nightmare, I can no longer use search engines the same reliability as before. Stackoverflow is too toxic and often all I need is to properly look up some more obscure stuff about some API, which “could just be googled”. AI, of course, is very unreliable....

I’ve heard it thrown around in professional circles and how everybody’s doing it wrong, so… who actually does use it?...
I feel like there are many devs out there who expose a lot of personal details and opinions all over the web. Maybe it’s just me, but when starting out with the internet I tried my best to separate my personal details (name, age, sex, country, ethnicity, family ties, relationship status,…) from usernames in public....

Video is nearly 3 years old now, but I think it’s worth watching. Her presentation starts at around 2:30....
I mean “Lion’s commentary on the UNIX source”. This badly needs it. Not some first-class grifter Chud like LowLevelLearning who pronounces GNU as “Gee-enn-u” blowing his soy packets all over Youtube’s UDP packets (I actually did a ‘Don’t Recommend Channel’ on him, knows shit and talks big) but someone who...
A post-US world which we are quickly approaching (again, no chud crap, go away) has a lot of complications for standards put forward by regulatory bodies of America, which all countries follow – mostly because when these standards were created, these countries, even the most technologically-advanced (e.g. France) were behind...

I am building an application that is using JSON / XML files to persist data. This is why I indicated “outside of SQL” in the title....
I honestly have issues browsing to even the simplest of non-static pages. I think it’s like, the graphical version of lynx(1) or w3m(1). I think it’s based on X’s browser right? So basically, it’s based on the Open Webkit Standard. It uses the GTK+ WebKit engine. This engine has a programmatic interface....
I am someone who has been trying to pivot into having a tech job. I have used LaTex before as a student and there is a job I am trying to take that uses Jaspersoft to make reports. Is jasper similar to LaTeX? Are there resources you found particularly helpful?...
TL;DR IPFS’s “content addresses” don’t actually address the content but a tree of the content stored in a protocol buffer, making it impossible to convert a hash to a content address....
So we have all these control characters in ASCII and besides newline, horizontal tab and carriage return (on Windows) the only use for them is on terminal emulators (which I am making one!) Also as an extension, us NeoVim/Vim users have extensive use for them....
